In reply to Maria. The thing about reparations is that if people actually believe in that, they could open up their own home and their own wallet and help someone immediately today. But they do not do that and instead demand that society in general be taxed more to accommodate the wealth redistribution instead. That’s all any subsidy welfare or charity effort initiated by the government equates to in the end; Another tax.

The appraiser must be able to anticipate what data gathering is necessary. That is why there are different forms for different housing types, creating a pre established framework. Such a concept was based on intelligent design. There must be zero confusion about what data the appraiser will need to gather ahead of time. If we can’t print out the form on paper ahead of the inspection the concept will not work properly in the real world.

So, I spend a day putting everything together (and I put a lot together prior to acceptance and inspection) then the deal is cancelled. This used to only happen maybe once a year.
